At least you got out RJ. I ended up skipping Eagle entirely.
Would anyone be willing to share some tips on how to target Lakers in Schroon? I've been up there twice this year and got skunked both times. For me, it's kind of a far drive to not catch fish. Thanks
Everyone giving up and calling it a season huh?
Is there any public access to Schroon off of Adirondack or South Shore Drive/Road?? Thanks
Nice. Better than a skunk and releasing lake trout is better than table fare, imo. Had 2 friends that ventured to the dead sea of eagle point today after my zip. Well 10 traps out , zero fish. Good luck to all that venture out. My rest of season will be for panfish only
If you caught on a tip up, don’t try to save the hook, cut the line. If jigged, handle with care getting hook out. This fish most likely will die, as it doesn’t appear to be. 18 inches. Just some friendly advice.
I tried to get them all back in the water as soon as possible with minimum handling.
I just wanted to thank:Garufi518 Mikey Iceflyfish413kpd145and everyone else on the forum for their advice on fishing for lake trout.I braved the cold temperatures and landed four of them today.This fish isn't very impressive but it is the first Lake trout I have ever caught:
Congrats on your first laker. How was the snow on the lake last weekend?
There was a couple inches of snow (2-3" would be my guess) then a layer of slush under that. The slush froze pretty quick when exposed to the air.
Sorry, wasn’t busting your chops. Just saw all the blood. Congrats on your first laker.Tip-ups or jigging?
Thanks wec. I was jigging.
